When you love to fly more than anything but you don't want to kill anyone, what does it feel like the first time you do? 15 road crew in Vietnam. And does it really matter, then or now, 45 years later? What kind of LOVE allows this to happen in this crazy world. Perhaps there is more to learn here than I ever imagined.
Where You Been Boy A LOVE STORY edition by Rod Magner Health Fitness Dieting eBooks
Rod Magner's Where you Been Boy: A LOVE STORY is a beautiful, haunting, and thought provoking story of a man struggling to understand the waste of war, ego, and hubris in the face of the beauty of love that life offers each of us.Rod's book is in the tradition of Antoine de Saint Exupéry's Flight to Arras, and one reviewer of that book described St. Ex as "one of those rare people that nature can produce: a man of action with the mind of a philosopher and the soul of a poet, with the ability to express them all with lucid clarity".
I'm humbled to say that Rod, like St. Exupéry, embodies this same mix of talents, and his book reminds me of Flight to Arras in many ways. Though Where you Been Boy, is a bit more non-linear, once the reader finds the rhythm and pattern of Rod’s story (and let’s go of “thinking” about the time-line), it is immersive, with crisp imagery of both the beauty of flight, the power of camaraderie and friendship, and the darkness that flying to kill can bring to the soul.
Perhaps my favorite passages in the text revolve around those times that Rod reflects on how we are all interconnected in unknown and unseen ways, while he is traveling in his biplane. Sharing a few bits of his experiences barnstorming with Richard, and meeting Carol was also special.
Overall, I was quite moved by A LOVE STORY, and, I experienced the exact feelings I had when Rod took my wife and I on a magical flight around the San Juan Islands in Magic One—I was glad to have had the opportunity to share in the experience, I was thankful for the beauty of it all, and I was sad that it (both the flight and the book) had come to an end so quickly.
Thank you Rod! I hope you continue to write and share your experiences with us!

Where You Been Boy A LOVE STORY edition by Rod Magner Health Fitness Dieting eBooks Reviews
It helps if you're a pilot, but it will be enjoyed by most anyone. If you like Richard Bach's work you will like this.
Sort of dull--a memoir of an A-4 Skyhawk pilot who regrets a particular flight in Viet Nam. Not worth reading . He's a guy who feels sorry for himself and I just couldn't get through it.
Mr. Magner gave a lot of insight as to what it would be like as a young Navy pilot and the years following. Give the book a chance and you will be rewarded
A beautiful,exquisitely written love story by a man with a passion for flying. I am another who could simply not put the book down. This book will take its place among the greatest flying stories ever written. The interweaving of the futility of war is accurately and sensitively described. I can only hope Rod Magner will write more of his love.
Reading it on my phone and can't put it down. Rod, you have a gift for writing especially about flying and the joys of aviation. But there is so much more than that in this little tome; I highly recommend it for anyone who has ever questioned, "What's this life about, and what's important?" That means, any and all of us! Thanks so much for sharing.
Rod Magner, to me, has always been the kind and gentle ex Navy flyer on Orcas Island who shares his compressed air for my bike tires and who always has time to talk and listen...and who loves flying. And he is all that, but he also has the powers of writing vivid unflinching prose. The man can tell a story, slam you back in the seat from a cat launch, make you sweat the coming night trap on a pitching carrier, show you the curvature of the Earth and ask you to forgive him for having killed men in war. He describes such a vivid Dalhart woman we all want to meet her, and the luckiest among us have. Above all, Rod unashamedly offers existential answers that distill into one word. Who knew he was an unrepentant romantic, even something of a mystic in the vein of Saint-Exupery and Richard Bach? WHERE YOU BEEN BOY is a fine read. Buy it and tell your friends there's a hero among us.
Over the years a few books have kept me up until well past bedtime. Over the years a VERY FEW have drawn me so deeply into the story. Such is "Where you been boy?" Is it because this a story we could all relate to, in some form or fashion?
Although this is Rod Magner's first book I find it a truly fascinating read......at first saying, somewhat bewildered to myself.... " did I miss a page? Where is this going?" The way the story is inter twined becomes riveting. Soon you realize it is so similar to life....here, then there, then back again......but all the while on a fascinating journey to find what we all long for......peace, love, happiness, family, true friends and forgiveness.
Incredibly well written, whether you are there in the cockpit on a night carrier deck landing or at some dusty old out of the way restaurant in the middle of Texas.....you are right there searching for the answers with Rod.
For aviators, it puts you in the cockpit!! The glory, the fun, the challenges......and the heartache. For lovers, it touches your soul and brings you along this incredible journey, where knowingly or unknowingly, we are all on that same search.
Fate brought me to this book......and my life is so much better for it!! My only suggestion is to have cookies and milk when you open the front page.....it is going to be a long night!!
